Or Jimbo killed the deal by putting the full court press on Mario's girl...

Did the box have airholes or was it filled with formaldehyde?

Where is the Players' Union in all of this? Is there no pressure on him to take the the highest dollar amount, even if it's from the Bills? The MLB Players' Union would never allow one of the top FA players to 'leave money on the table'. The player (and agent) would be crucified.

Grind. As in...Ground up and in the freezer.

'NFL Free Agency 2012: The Mario Williams Watch - Official Porn of Buffalo Bills Fans Everywhere'

At least three times. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxvdvoQgAy8

And she's a rhymes with runt.

That's what she said...

Wanny

So when will we see the wisps of white smoke coming from the field house?

Still holding out hope for Mario. Thank God the underachieving stiff, Meachem, didn't sign with the Bills. Sometimes the best deals are the ones you don't make. Go get Robinson.

Oh, the irony...

I hope there are several bottles of wine and a pen involved...

Speaking of which, while watching 'NFL Total Access - Free Agency Frenzy' and hoping to see that Mario has signed with our beloved Bills, it caught my attention what a nice rack Lindsay (Soto) Rhodes has. Kudos, Lins.

Jason LaCanfora & Michael Lombardi on 'NFL Total Access' at approximately 7:15 tonight: JL: "Mike, I think we both agree, and others around the league when you talk to other teams who were in this thing that they're more or less conceding...not quite waving the white flag but a lot of people would be surprised if he leaves Buffalo without an introductory press conference and without a beaucoup amount of guaranteed money in his pocket. They're prepared to make him one of the highest paid players ever at his position...they have a ton of cap space. For him to make the first visit there, all signs are they're going to be able to get this done. And, if for any reason it falls apart, the Chicagos, the Jacksonvilles of the world will be right there to catch him with a pretty good money-filled parachute of their own...but, boy, I don't see him leaving Western New York without a contract." ML: "Yeah, once Buffalo moved all of the chips to the middle of the table, they were gonna get him. Obviously, Chicago wanted to be involved but it got too rich for Chicago...when they pulled out, then he got on the airplane and typically when this happens...when you get on that airplane and you're gonna make this trip, you're going up there to see the weather, to see the scenery...but you're also going up there to collect your money and I think that's what ultimately what has happened here. As Jason said, barring any unforeseen problems, I expect Mario Williams to be a Buffalo Bill by the end of the day tomorrow."

1 FA. THE premiere FA, Mario Williams. I don't give two shites about Robert 'Underachiever' Meachem. I'll tolerate him if the Bills ink 'Super Mario'.

Indeed. I don't think this board has been as giddy at the onset of free agency since the Bills were pursuing Takeo Spikes almost a decade ago!

Man, if Buddy actually makes this happen, the board is gonna 'Rosen' for sure!

Haha! I thought the same thing when I heard it. Only the Bills. No problem. Indeed...let's hope. I disagree. Lombardi is a former GM so I think that his statement carries more weight than your run-of-the-mill 'talking head'.

FWIW...shortly before 5:00PM today: - ESPN's 'NFL Live' said the Bears were moving on from Mario Williams. - On NFL Network, Jason LaCanfora & Mike Lombardi were talking to Rich Eisen. Lombardi said that "obviously Buffalo is now in the driver's seat and it would take something for them to mess it up not to get Mario Williams as they bring him on a visit. The visit really is just about getting a deal done...it's really not about, 'hey, we're gonna check it out, how's the locker room, what's the field look like', it's about money and it's about signing a contract." Eisen then proceeded to so, "So...you think Mario Williams will eventually wind up a Buffalo Bill?" Lombardi: "I think if somebody else doesn't come in...I think the one thing announcing you're going on a visit does to all the other teams, it alerts them that they could potentially sign...it's an advertisement for you to find out as an agent to see if someone else might be actually coming up to cough up the coin. But once the price is established, a lot of teams say, 'wait a minute..hold on...we're out on that one, we need to go somewhere else.' So I think, ultimately, the first visit is usually the best one." LaCanfora agreed. Here's to hoping they're right!

I'd gladly take either Garcon or Robinson. I'm not sure why people are so enamored with Meachem. The guy's a bum. A first round bust who's never lived up to the hype. I want no part of him. Do the right thing Buffalo and say "no" to Robert Meachem - a total waste of money.

You mean like, seemingly, half the posters on this board?

Epic fail...

Another 'bleacher report says' thread? Really?? Oy.

Although this is fruitless, I'll play along. Pre-free agency & pre-draft, I see maybe 8-8.
